Review summary
The ports we visited were great. Saw whales and seals along the way.Embarkation
Smooth and Quick
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Dining room food was okay. Buffet was meh. Scrambled eggs tasted too buttery or maybe it was cooking oil.
Onboard Activities
Too chilly for the pool and hot tubs: bingo, casino, BB Kings Nightclub. These were all good. Was out on deck during the day or off ship for excursions. Not into Mahjong, Monopoly or puzzle making. Shows at night were meh.
Entertainment
BB King and Dueling Pianos were good; stage shows were meh. Not into string quartets.
Children's Programs
Travelled without children
Service and Staff
Dining room crew and room stewards were great. Very attentive to our needs.
Ship Quality
It's old. Needs refurbishment.
Cabin / Stateroom
Perfect! Hoho and Geda did a great job!!
Ports of call
No excursion, but spent 4 days in Seattle prior to sailing.
Thumbs Up

No excursion. Took a shuttle into town and walked around. Found a salmon hatchery and aquarium. Also visited site where the old Russian mansion was.
Yes, excursion to Saxman Village, Totem Pole Park and Lumberjack Show. Very interesting!!
Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port
Never left the ship because we were only in port for a short time. Would have been too rushed.
Disembarkation
Fairly smooth. Hectic trying to retrieve luggage and go through customs. Only complaint I had was my damaged luggage.
